I found that meeting Janet Harbison was truly joining hands with someone across
the ocean. The span of human likeness is incredible and her wit, humor and
talent are amazing. She has a dedication to her cause and a great enthusiasm for
the music of Ireland. I found myself desiring to ask questions just to hear the
lilting Irish accent in her voice.Janet Harbison traveled throughout Floridaencompassing Vero Beach, Daytona
Beach, Fort Myers, Orlando, and Ocala presenting numerous workshops and
concerts. She had four school presentations while she was in Florida as well;
and got asked back to each school. Janets workshops were delightful as she
taught the traditional aural way of Ireland and her concerts made the audience
feel as though they had stepped through a door and placed their feet in the cozy
room of an Irish home while being serenaded with the harp and voice.Bambi FischerThe concerts that I attended were wonderful. "Janet embodied the Celtic sound
and had great command over its musical execution. Her wit and style were equally
charming in word as in song. All in all, a great success for FHF all round..."Melody Anglin
Attending Janet's workshop in Vero was great fun; first spending time with
friends and second learning new tricks. It was interesting to watch Janet teach
all students, novice to experienced, with the same tune. Her tune, Chimes, has
now become my favorite warm-up exercise.Marg Chauvin
